How Davidmd1975 started their web page design journey

Summary

We recently had a contest which TIML won, but he has gone MIA! We have upped the contest winnings to $500.
We really like: http://www.dipsetmixtapes.com/main.html This is our favorite site--it has the color combination and CRISP content displays we are shooting for!
Make a STREET VERSION of this site! Obviously don't directly copy it.
